Any other “wine moms” trying to get out of that culture?

I feel you, Jess. It’s really easy to justify and minimize the drinking when you have a circle of friends who “look forward” to it at end of day, get togethers, etc. I minimized and glamorized my wine drinking for years. I was like I drink “wine,” no hard liquor. Must be okay. Socially acceptable. I got into this back and forth with a counselor at the rehab I went to….I said “I only drink white wine.” He said in response….Terri, did the wine get you drunk? Uh….yes. Such denial. But I did not want to give it up. Finally did and celebrated 18 months sober this past week. Hope you get the support you need to stop if that’s what you want.

My biggest struggle is the letting loose on the weekends, especially on a night without the kids, and drinking way too much every time. Then it would bleed into the week with a drink or 3 after work. I find moderation impossible.
